Agreed. It is disrespectful when time is cut short. For a 60 minute session, the massage should last close to 50 mins with ten minutes allowed to get dressed, clean up, final chat and part ways.   I think with regulars they can start taking you for granted which is unfortunate.  I think it might be unintentional but it lacks professionalism. I agree, play dumb and mention the time issue. Otherwise you will stew and sulk and feel cheated. At the end of the day, it is still a business transaction. Speak up and stand up for yourself. You can do it in a nice polite way. 

I think with all human interactions when you have an uncomfortable situation like being shorted on time and you're afraid to bring up the subject for fear of upsetting the other person......act dumb.
"Oh..are we done already ? I could have sworn I booked for 90 minutes not 60. Am I wrong ? "

I really dislike when my time is cut short, which unfortunately has occurred several times. If it's the first encounter with that provider, I opt not to hire them again. However, if they're a regular provider, I approach the situation differently. I believe some of them may take clients for granted and assume they don't need to put in effort to retain them. Typically, I may lightly mention the issue of ending sessions early, and most providers understand the hint.  If they don't, I'll have a conversation with them before considering hiring them again to address the matter directly.

The word 'relationship' is very flexible, so I wouldn't read too much into it. A professional relationship is still a relationship if it involves periodic contact, whether it's your doctor, accountant or masseur. If you go to the same cafe every morning,  your relationship with your barista is probably one of your closest (and they may know more about you than anyone else!).

For this very reason, I never schedule 90-minute sessions. You pay massage therapists for their time, so if they short you, you should compensate accordingly. By using the word “relationship” a couple of times in your post, it also sounds like you’ve grown attached to your favorites. At the end of the day though, you’re just a client to them. 90 percent of the masseurs in LA overcharge anyway, so take your hard-earned cash elsewhere if they begin to cut your appointment times short. If you absolutely can’t live without their massage, then bring it up and they should understand. If not, move on!
Again, so many take advantage of the service they’re providing and are getting paid $150+ an hour for just a mediocre massage. I know everyone in LA seems to be millionaires but these guys are making the same per hour as someone on a $300K+ annual salary. For that kind of money, their hands shouldn’t be coming off your body until the 90-min mark.

I had similar experience. He wanted to go way further than I was okay with, and when I playfully and consistently said "here are my limits", he made the interactivity letter far less than what others here describe, and far less than most of my "sensual" experiences. If I was okay with full deli, I'd go with him, but he really wasn't okay with "no".

Younger Ryan Phillippe vibes.

Peace to everyone! I would feel glad for others if they will have a better experience or interaction with the providers. Let’s cheers to that!!!

I wonder if he’s related to Jenny? 

Not recommended.  Underwhelming in every way.  The table is in a very small tight space that he can barely walk around.  The massage consisted of repetitive half-hearted strokes.  Mechanical, uninterested HE, and he literally walked away and started getting dressed the second the ending started.

Yes back in NYC and I saw him yesterday.   Super nice guy - hair longer than in the pics but suits him. Very accommodating. Provides a solid pressure-point/shiatsu style massage on bed when not in LA.  $200 for 1/hr, will wear underwear or nothing; MT/HE.  If that sounds what your looking for, I'd recommend, and I'd repeat.

come on dude, no reason to be mean

It was that the therapeutic in the first one was actually really good, and for the rate, it was worth doing.

He's therapeutic. I agree about the aloofness. Messaging was a little rough. He sounded condescending and warmed near the end.
First visit: the therapeutic side was very good. DIdn't like the draping, but yes, his technique was good. S
econd time: his aloofness was so dramatic that I thought he didn't have my number saved. If it's still bad on the third time, will no longer see him.
Rates are great though.
Would love to hear others experiences.

I met him a couple of years ago when he was using a different name (he's changed it many times) and it was not a good experience.   A lot of promises before you meet but the actual session was a joke.   One of the worse I've met.  

I hope not !
Somehow, he convinced rentmen to remove most of the terrible reviews his previous clients made about him.  He also changed his ad name.  
This latest stunt causes me to rely on rentmen a lot less than I did before I saw the narratives and bad reviews removed with the new ad and the name change.  
Buyer beware.  This is a bad guy.  
Also, one of the reviewers said that he is Spanish.  He is Brazilian.  

Is there any way a moderator could edit the title of this thread to correct the spelling of his name?
It's "Rainer" not "Ranier."

My experience wasn't quite as bad as this, but I also didn't feel the session was that amazing. It might be that the reviews on here were so very positive that I had higher expectations, but I left disappointed. He was, as everyone says, very nice etc... but the overall felt disconnected and not worth his price point even. That was my experience, I know YMMV etc...

Saw Alex recently and had a similar experience. While he was nice, the sensual elements were not incorporated throughout the massage, and there was no frontal massage. Felt robotic with him announcing the release at the end. Would not recommend.

Yeah, just got his rates today... $400 for erotic massage, and what he describes as erotic is what, i think, most people would consider at most sensual. I get teh loose definitions that govern those types, but simply mean to say, he's charging $100/hour more than an escort but you will not be hiring an escort. 😕 

I've seen him before and it went well, couple months later rehired and booked for 8pm, sent 100 for a placeholder through zelle which we had done couple times before but this time he never showed. I'm out a 100 but posting this so others are aware.
